Beauty Tip of the Week – Eyeliner Tricks for bigger, wider and youthful eyes

We all want our eyes to stand out, and perfecting that liner is the precise way to do so, but it’s some serious business!

We all have different eye shapes and sizes, so apart from wanting sultry seductive eyes when we apply eyeliner, we all have one thing in mind: making our eyes look wider and sharper.

When applying eyeliner, most women apply a line on top and connect it to a line on the bottom, which actually makes the eyes look smaller. A small tip here is to leave a space between the ends of both lines, and not connect them. It's a subtle technique which makes a huge difference.
To make the eye even larger, try applying a generous line of vintage white eyeliner on the water line (if white is too intense go for an ivory or pale yellow). 

Also, a single line on the upper lid with a wing gives the eyes a good pull upward leaving you with a more piercing look.

If your eyes are more mature and tend to have slightly sagging skin (inevitable, I know!) then you can switch the liner technique altogether. In this case, stroking an eye pencil with an angled brush on your upper lid and lower lash line will lead to an even and softer application. This will leave you with a soft smokey finish, which remains a classic look for any lady. 

Remember, it's all about placement!
